Let's be honest. The pandemic was hard on us for a wide variety of reasons... and one way its impact is showing on us now?

You guessed it. Our weight.

More than 61% of Americans confirmed they dealt with weight gain since the pandemic lockdowns began more than a year ago in March 2020.

It seems that includes celebrities like the much-loved Will Smith of Men In Black, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and I, Robot.

But true to Smith's personality, he's chosen to face his new body with humor rather than resentment.

On Instagram this week, Smith shared a simple post that received ample praise for its honesty.

In the image, Smith was wearing an unzipped jacket, shorts and house slippers. Obvious in the picture, as well, is the less-defined physique of an actor who is well-known for intense physical training in his films, as well as performing his own stunts.

Smith wrote:

"I'm gonna be real with y'all. I'm in the worst shape of my life."

Some deeply related to the image, especially after the past year.

Social media works hard to be a bright and shiny object, where we're supposed to brag about our proudest, most positive moments. It often objects to or ignores our darker moments of struggle or moments when we may feel "less than," like when we put on a few pounds.

And this is especially true for celebrities. We're shown airbrushed and professionally styled icons and we're trained to think they can do no wrong and experience no struggles.

They are meant to be, in a word, perfect.

But Smith just did a solid for his followers. In one post, he communicated if a celebrity can be honest and gain weight during a thing as momentous as a pandemic, then his followers could, too.

And the best part? They could even take a moment to laugh about it, in a positive light.

Lindsey Graham's Sister Hit With Hilariously Brutal Factcheck After Claiming She's 'Not Being Handed' His Senate Seat

Darline Graham, the sister of late Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, was swiftly fact-checked after claiming that she's "not being handed" her brother's seat even though she quite literally was named to temporarily fill it.

Senator Graham died on the evening of July 11 after returning from an official visit to Ukraine. According to a preliminary finding from the medical examiner, shared by his office, Graham died after suffering an aortic dissection—a tear in the inner wall of the aorta—linked to hardening of the arteries.

John Hinckley Jr. Shares New Message For Jodie Foster 45 Years After Shooting Ronald Reagan To Impress Her

Some Hollywood stories fade with time. The disturbing history connecting Jodie Foster and John Hinckley Jr. is not one of them. For those who don’t know, on March 30, 1981, Hinckley waited outside the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C., where President Ronald Reagan had just addressed 5,000 members of the AFL-CIO.

As Reagan emerged from the hotel, Hinckley fired six shots from a revolver. One bullet ricocheted off Reagan’s limousine and struck him beneath his arm. White House Press Secretary James Brady, police officer Thomas Delahanty and Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy were also wounded.

Journalist Reveals Just How Much Money Has Been Diverted From National Parks For Trump's Vanity Projects—And People Are Livid

In a series of articles for MacFarlane News and MeidasTouch, videos, and an appearance on CNN, Chief Washington Correspondent for MeidasTouch Scott MacFarlane blew the whistle on MAGA Republican President Donald Trump’s raiding of National Park Service (NPS) funds. Aided by his Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Trump diverted NPS money to pay for all of his White House and Washington D.C. vanity projects.

Trump’s hand-selected, mostly unwanted and unnecessary White House grounds and National Mall projects—things like a botched reflecting pool resurfacing, golden decor, a helipad, a ballroom, gilded statues, and giant flagpoles—alone took $423 million from major national parks across the country.
